Hultsfredsfestival, Hultsfred, Sweden.7th to 9th July 2010
Hultsfredsfestival
The Swedish Hultsfredsfestival is located in small town Hultsfred that each summer gets invaded by music loving people. This year, the festival celebrates its 25th birthday and it has gone from last year’s four day festival to a three day one. New for this year is that the festival starts on a Wednesday and ends on a Friday. I like the fact that you can find the booked bands arranged in different categories on the homepage http://www.rockparty.se/ because it gives a good view of how the festival is coming together musically. More bands will follow since the line up for the festival is far from finished!
